home Cisco Unity
server
When Cisco Unity servers are networked via Digital Networking, the home Cisco Unity server is the
Cisco Unity server on which a subscriber account was created.
I
identified subscriber
messaging (ISM)
ISM affects what subscribers hear when they call other subscribers from their primary or alternate
extensions and are forwarded to the greetings of the subscribers they call. If they then leave a message,
ISM affects what the called subscriber hears and can do when listening to the message. When ISM is
enabled, Cisco Unity recognizes that the calling extension is associated with a subscriber and
accordingly plays the internal greeting of the called subscriber. Additionally, when the called
subscriber later listens to the message, Cisco Unity plays the recorded voice name of the subscriber
who left the message and allows the called subscriber to record a reply.
Internet subscriber Internet subscribers are Cisco Unity subscribers who do not have mailboxes on the local Exchange
network. Instead, messages for Internet subscribers are sent to an e-mail address that you specify when
you create the Internet subscriber account. Internet subscribers are created in Cisco Unity to enable
Cisco Unity subscribers to find them in the directory and send messages as they would to any other
subscriber. Internet subscribers are stored as contacts in Active Directory. Mailbox greetings and voice
names can be individually recorded for each Internet subscriber. Messages that are sent to an Internet
subscriber are sent via SMTP over the Internet or any TCP/IP network.
IP Internet Protocol. Network layer for the TCP/IP protocol suite. Internet Protocol (version 4) is a
connection-less, best effort packet switching protocol.
L
location A Cisco Unity object that contains the addressing information that Cisco Unity needs to exchange
messages with other voice messaging systems (which may or may not be Cisco Unity systems). See
also delivery location and primary location.
M
MIME Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions. An industry-standard specification for formatting non-ASCII
messages so that they can be sent over the Internet. Many e-mail clients now support MIME, which
enables them to send and receive graphics, audio, and video files via the Internet mail system. In
addition, MIME supports messages in character sets other than ASCII.
